User settings on D40 fixtures allow multiple operational modes and
settings for either console operation via DmX protocol or stand-alone
operation. the expanded lCD display provides easy navigation to all
possible settings and options. Some of the setting options are:
• multiple DmX choices ranging from a simple rGB
profile – which effectively controls all seven leD colors via
three channels – to nine-channel 'direct' color and
intensity control
• multiple dimming curve options
• preset colors and sequences for stand-alone (no console
required) operation
• White point selection – white light and color behavior based
on a specific color temperature white light, i.e. 3200K,
5600K, etc
• loss of data behavior options – instant off, hold last look for
two minutes, etc
• output modes – three output options that offer the user a
choice between maximum output and maximum consistency
See the user manual for a complete explanation of all of the control
settings and options for the D40.
Quick setups
to assist in managing the numerous control and fixture behavior choices, five
combinations of operational settings are available to quickly get started. these
settings are specifically created for different applications and are easily accessible at
the fixture display. each setting can then be modified as required to take advantage
of all of the possible control features.

notes
Direct control of each individual
color with a separate master
intensity channel. Color
calibration of leDs is not active
in this mode. the nine-channel
profile will produce the highest
quality color cross-fades.
High resolution hue (two-
channels), saturation, and
intensity control. HSi mode will
produce arbitrary color cross-
fades around the color space.
High-resolution hue, saturation
and intensity control as above,
with the addition of a color
point channel to adjust the color
temperature of the fixture in both
white light and color. Color cross-
fade performance is the same
as HSi.
effectively addresses all seven
colors via three channels of
control. rGB profile will produce
medium quality color cross-fades
Controls fixture as a white light
unit. if no DmX, i.e. console
input, is present, fixture can
be adjusted for these three
parameters on the U/i at the back
of the unit.
the desired color and intensity
is achieved by using the HSi or
rGB channels.
placing channel seven at a value
over 51% gives the fixture a
14-channel profile.
Channels 8-14 represent the
native colors of the fixture and
allow the operator to adjust
individual color channels to fine
tune the color output.
